If you were agreeing with me, you're right, I missed it, but so did the next poster who quoted us both as having opposing views. As for calming down...well there's that unnecessary thing again.

Let me just interject here. I'm not digging Michaels new doo. Makes his loafers seem a bit lighter. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Grow up.

Why look what I found, an "ignore" button. How useful and not unnecessary at all in limiting the insults from some - bye now.

Another great episode.

I still don't get what's up with Donovan's hair. Whether it is just an intentional change by him or if it is the result of something in real life. Bringing back the two nerds from the Sam Axe movie was an interesting touch - though kind of stretched a bit by making them semi-bosses. Although, when you think about it...maybe not such a stretch.

Yeah, I never insulted you man, just disagreed with you in theory. You clearly took offense and overreacted (that's an understatement). I am speaking the truth, not insulting you. If you ignore everyone you disagree with on this forum I imagine your ignore list is quite large. This is a public forum, and everyone else's opinions are just as valid as yours. If you don't like it then leave.

I too noticed the new hair style. You guys don't think it's a Michael C. Hall situation with Donovan where he has cancer and just doesn't want to publicize it, do you? Man, that would be awful...

Jeffrey Donovan apparently grew his hair out for the role of Robert F. Kennedy in the upcoming film J. Edgar.

Good to know. Thanks.

I agree that using the two simple tools from the San Axe movie as supervisors was a bit hard to understand. Still, the boys are funny and it's always a pleasure to see them thwarted one more time.

Ah, now that makes sense. I can even see some resemblance in Donovan to Kennedy. Glad it wasn't the cancer thing or some other malady.

I like even mediocre Burn Notice episodes but this week's show was mediocre indeed. The five years that have ensued since W. Earl Brown's days as Al Swearengen's murderous henchman, Dan Dority on Deadwood have done him no favors. In this week's Burn Notice Brown looked like a fat old man to me. I agree that the part of the show involving Michael's attempts to find Max's murderer were a lot more interesting than the militia adventure.

I liked Sams reference to Michaels "new-old" hair do. I just couldn't buy into the overweight leader of the militia though. He looked more at home in a Burger King than on a survivalist compound. I do like the trying to find Max's killer arc. There's gotta be a twist to who the killer is.

I like that too. I laughed out loud, and my wife just gave me an odd stare.

This was indeed the worst ep of the season so far, and maybe one of the worst overall. The 'militia in the middle of Miami' plot was just beyond stupid, and having some fat guy running it and pretending to be some sort of leader was even worse.

I bet that it would have been much better if Stephen Lang was casted as the leader.

I hope they're saving him for a much better premise.

You know, it might be time to "consolidate" this show. Since only about 5 or 6 minutes of a 'Burn Notice' episode's 43 minute running time, split between the beginning and end of each ep, actually deals with the overall story arc (which in itself has become only slightly less preposterous than the weekly victim-saving main plotline), maybe that's all that I need to watch anymore. The standard "procedural" portions of the show are getting more and more repetitious & flimsy and I just really don't care which helpless victim gets saved by Michael & Co. and which drug lord, blackmailer, or gun runner gets dispatched this particular week. They're all running together now. At this point, I keep watching only because of habit and residual affection for the characters, to be honest. I certainly don't look forward to it; it just shows up on my DVR and I turn off my brain and watch. Then, if it's as bad as this week's installment, I feel guilty for wasting the time.

'Fringe' became a much better show once it fully embraced it's serialized mythology and more or less did away with the "freak of the week" plotlines. I know this is much more of a lightweight show, but I'm seriously considering just watching the first and last act and saving myself a half hour of precious time. Won't really miss anything worth watching. I'm afraid this show has long since exceeded its shelf life.

Well the militia wasn't exactly in the middle of Miami. I assume they film a lot of the scenes in the dumps of South Miami.

Archi,
I am starting to agree. Maybe they should just do a TV movie once a year like the Sam Axe movie.

That pretty much sums it up for me as well. The habit of watching for several years is all that keeps me interested anymore as the stories continue to become Wile E. Coyote plots with semi-real people. Occasionally the main arc (all 5 minutes of it) gets some interest going, but even that is getting old. This is getting House-like in its recycled stories that finally cry out for euthanasia. The time has come.

The show is a good escape to me. Keep the eye candy coming......beaches/bikinis, etc...

He should quit the government jobs and go independent, or just say I use to be a spy and now I help people.


Also fire Jessie.

I see that exact scenario as the series finale; he'll have everything he wanted back, but will quit because of the love of helping people.

The same thing happene dto Monk. He got back on the police force, but quit because he had to work on what he was told rather than what he wanted.

I was going to reply The Equalizer and then I saw your You Tube video. I loved that show.
